I think that glasses, cartilage pierces, and hair dyed bright colours are very sexy. My bespectacled ex once came home with bright red/crimson hair; I pounced and didn’t let him up for three hours. ---

Two off the top of my head, one kinda boring, the other a bit scary…sweatpants or a look of fear. I swear I’m not THAT much of a sicko and I generally like women, but there’s something sexy about a scared worried look on a womans face. ---

The whole morning look-- I don’t know how to describe it exactly. Before she has any makeup on… hair slightly ruffled… in her jammies… And might I add… I love jammies and sweats SO MUCH MORE than “sexy” clothes/lingerie. Maybe i’m just wierd here, I just think girls look so much better the more natural they are. My g/f just doesn’t get it. She will go buy sexy clothes, and I try to be excited, because I know she wants to feel sexy. But how do I explain to her, that if she just puts on her jammies and some white socks its even better. (ahhh, white socks. OK, I’ll admit it, those girls in porn wear socks for people just like me 🙂 Sick bastard that I am) Its funny watching TV, because I’ll see some ad with girls in bikini’s and I think, “she’s cute.” Then I see some Special K ad with a girl in sweats and t-shirt eating breakfast and I think, “oooh yeah! Who’s your daddy!” ---

1.Women who constantly change their look. Bridgette Fonda is a great example. She isn’t particularly the type of girl I find very attractive, but she has so many different looks it drives me wild. 2. Women who don’t know how attractive they are or how well built they are. ---

I am with **Screeme** 100%. No makeup and jammies. **Nacho4sara** , elbow crack? You intrigue me. ---

Hair around a man’s nipples and sweat (not hairy sweaty nipples!) is _very_ sexy to me. There’s something about a man playing basketball with his shirt off and his whole body glistening with sweat that turns me on. ---

A woman wearing an oversized t-shirt and no pants. A woman eating a popsicle. ---

1. Women with dark circles or pouches under their eyes, like Jodie Foster or Lucy Lawless. 2. Women stamping their feet (so cute!) That’s all I can think off the top of my head. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by goonhead \* > \*\*Women who wear glasses…guys DO make passes at them \*\* Then check out MSNBC’s, Ashleigh Banfield. YUMMY! ::Droooool:: I can’t take my eyes off her whenever she is on the tube. Obviously, I love chicks in eyeglasses too. Other peculiarities I like: [li]women with thick eyebrows, like Madonna used to have in the 80’s, but not, I repeat, NOT, unibrows ala Bert of Sesame Street.[/li][li]women’s noses[/li][li]dark hair… the darker, the better! pitch-black, long, glossy hair drives me absolutely insane :D[/li][li]I, too, like the women wearing white socks[/li]“sport” bra tops… omg I love seeing women wearing those ---

A woman in an oversized mans button down shirt with no pants with long glossy hair dark hair. Oh my! Also, if the two of you are in the midst of, uh, you know and she is on top and she sits straight up and runs her hands through hair and smiles and moans. Oh my god!!! ---

Boy there are so many things that I could put here but alas they are felonies… But I do find sexy women who post to message boards under assumed names. ---

A woman with a little dirt under her nails. I’m not talking grotesquely nasty, but she shouldn’t be afraid to get a little messy outside. ---

A guy chewing gum, casually, like a thug. A guy drinking straight booze, right out of the bottle. ---

Oh yeah, I saw this guy outside the bagel store with a couple of little boys (and dear god I hope they were his), and man the same thought ran through my head. Cigarette smoking- those kids on the anti big tobacco commercials would probably take me out into the street and have me shot if they saw this, but done right it kind of comes off as cool. No, I don’t ever plan to take it up, but still…🙂 ---

Women playing pool, but not some ditzy girl who does not know how to play pool, but someone who knows how to play the game and can shoot really well. I dunno if a girl is playing pool and is crappy it turns me off, if she can break, knows how to shoot, plays a mean game…YOINKS!
